On Monday night, the 18th instant, ran away, from the subscriber, living
in Montgomery County, near Georgetown, a likely, bright MULATTO MAN named
GEORGE PINTER, about 21 years of age, 5 feet 9 or 10 inches high, spare
made, with long bushy hair; he is remarkably talkative, and generally
smiles when spoken to; he had on, and took with him, a drab-coloured
country-cloth surtout, one white broad-cloth coat with plated buttons, one
striped nankeen ditto, two striped silk and cotton waistcoats with gilt
buttons, one pair of blue yarn stockings, all of them about half worn, and
a pretty good felt hat, with a very wide but shallow crown; his other
clothes unknown. It is highly probable he is furnished with a pass and
will assume the character of a free man; he went off, IT IS SUSPECTED IN
COMPANY WITH A COUPLE OF IRISH SERVANTS WHO LEFT THE LITTLE FALLS ON THE
SAME DAY, where they had been at work together for some time past. Whoever
apprehends and secures the said Runaway, in any gaol, so that his master
may get him again, shall receive the above reward, with reasonable
charges, if brought home.

RUN away from subscriber on Monday last, a Convict Servant named Thomas
Winey; he professes farming, was imported lately from Maidstone gaol in
the County of Kent, Great Britain--* * *
THE ABOVE MENTIONED SERVANT TOOK WITH HIM A MOLATTOE SLAVE named James, a
well set fellow, 23 years old ************ I have been informed by their
confederates since they went off, that they intend to go to Pennsylvania
and from thence to New England, unless they can on their way get passage
in some vessel to Great Britain where the Molattoe slave pretends to have
an UNCLE WHO ESCAPED FROM HIS MASTER IN THIS COLONY NEAR 23 YEARS AGO, AND
IS SAID TO KEEP A COFFEE HOUSE IN LONDON.
